XXXI, NO. 34S England Resting Easier As , Union Officials Issue Or- ders Not To Interfere With Pumping In Strike Affected Districts Republican A. P. Leased Wire LONDON, April 9. The coal mine strike, which threatened to carry with it a strike of the railway men and transport workers, seems to be in a fair way of settlement through negotiation. . After all day conferences and interviews, when it was supposed that all efforts to move the miners had proved ineffectual, it was suddenly announced that the miners had yielded and that a conference with the coal owners had been. convened for Monday. Notices were sent out to the mining; districts urging abstention from action that would interfere with measures for the safety of the mines. The only explanation available as to what inducements were offered the miners to remove their objection to assenting- to steps assuring safety of the mine owners' property is the statement of Frank Hodges, secretary of the miners' union "the conference was arranged unconditionally." ' - "Whether the rumors that the government is willing that the wage question should be adjusted on a national basis may be held to explain the change in the situation is. unknown. If. as Mr. Hodges-suggested, the government and mine owners have agreed to an unconditional conference, that would be sufficient to induce the miners to yield the pumping point. In any case, the unexpected agreement gives the liveliest hope that a countrywide struggle will be averted. Arthur Henderson, labor leader, al though not personally concerned in today's meeting with Premier Lloyd George, was tonight full of confidence that there will be no general strike Tuesday. The executive committee of the Triple Alliance, after a conference with the premier, issued this statement tonight - - "It has been agreed that: The 'government shall summon a-conference of representatives of the miners federation and the coal owners Monday, and the miners federation shall tonight issue notices to' the federation's branches urging miners toab-stain-.from action interfering with measures necessary for ensuring the safety of the mines or necessitating the use of force by the government." J. H. Thomas, secretary of the Na- Wtional Union of Railwaymen. said the statement was the result ot negotia tions between the railwavmen. transport workers and the government and had been accepted by the miners. The triple alliance will remain In session during the negotiations in order if necessary to give effect to their previous decision. The Press association says: ."There is definite hope that the ne gotiations will proceed smoothly and that not ontv will active intervention bv the railwaymen and transport workers be avoided but that the min Ara'- stonnage will be ended. The arly return of the pumpmen ispos-"ible" ' ' Today the representatives of the triple 'alliance continued, efforts to brinar about negotiations between the miners and the government. Aft r the third Interview between rail waymen and transport workers with the nremier. J. H. xnomas ann Mar ry Oosling( leader of the transport workers, reported mat tne deputation would discuss matters again -with the miners, but would not see the premier again until tomorrow. After the conference the premier had an audience with the king. During the day it was reported that, tirovided the pumping difficul ty could be surmounted, the government was not averse to negotiating the wage question on a national basis, as claimed by the miner. It is not certain, however, that the gov-. ernment will go that far. The cabinet today sanctioned measures to ensure the safety of ' the mines and batches of naval ratings were sent to Wales and Scotland to protect volunteers and pumpers, together with additional troops to aid civil authorities. ria Desires To Resume U.

An anti grain gambling bill will pe miro duced In the new congress by Senator Capper and Representative Tincher, both of Kansas. The measure. Sen ator Capper announced today, will be similar to the bill which failed in the last congress but will have a few amendments designed to meet objec tions to the former bill and which he said, would not penalize legitimate speculation or "hedging." The new bill also will apply to cotton. "As revised," said Senator Capper, 'the bill, I believe, mets the approval of the legitimate grains and milling interests. It has the approval of all the great farm organizations. It will not win the approval of the grain gamblers, for its chief purpose is elimination of the gamblers." The revised bill, according to the senator, would place grain exchanges under the bureau of markets, with authority to confine speculation in jrrain or cotton to regular boards of ifrade. This, he said, "will end the activities of the private wire houses where 95 per cent of the real gambling is done." The bill would require publicity for Phoenix Leads In March Postal Savings Increase Republican A. P. Leased Wire WASHINGTON, April 9.

April 9 With the j long awaited official announcement today that the Dempsey-Carpentier j heavyweight championship bout would be fought in New Jersey the afternoon of July 2, interest turned to the probable place of the contest and the training plans. Effort to ob tain a definite statement from Pro moter Tex Rickard as to the site were unavailing. . He refused to commit himself as to Newark, Atlantic City or Jersey City, the sites mentioned in hisannouncement. He said he had received favorable offers from all three cities and would inspect . the locations before be could make a decision. It is expected he will devote next week to this and announce his selection within 10 days While there has been nothing of ficial, it appears to be the genera! opinion among ring followers that Jersey City will be the choice. This is based on Rickard s assertions that he desired to stage the bout as near to New York City as possible. It was the dsire to locate the bout near a large city wuicn caused tne turning down of several offers from Canada, Maryland and western states. Under the New Jersey laws no decision can be g'en. Consequently, the only way in which Carpentier could win would be to knock out Dempsey inside the 12 rounds permitted or for the champion to lose by a foul. No matter how much Carpentier might batter Demp sey, if the latter were on his feet at the end he would still be champion from a technical standpoint. As the New Jersv legislature has adjourned no changes in the regula tions are likely. Rickard said he did not think the inability to render an official decision would have any ef feet on the attendance. He predicted that the attendance would be the largest that ever witnessed such a battle. Applications for seats have been accumulating without regard to the site, which Rickard attributes to the interest aroused in the first really in ternational heavyweight bout in several decades. Another unusual angle lies in the fact that the boxers are matched on a percentage basis, instead of the flat sums which it has been Rlckard's cus tom to pay. With Dempsev and Car pentier drawing 60 per cent of the gate receipts it is considered likely their share will be larger than the $127,500 paid Willard and Dempeey or the $101,000 awarded Johnson and Jeffries. The contract as originally drawn agreed to $300,000 -to Dempsey and Carpentier and it is reasonable to svippose they would not have assented to a change to a percentage basis, even though impressed with the general protest against the size of the purse, unless they felt their share would exceed any former guarantee. Rickard will inspect sites in Atlan tic City. Newark and Jersey City during the next few days and decide on the one which offers the greatest advantages for handling what is ex pected to be the largest assembly of boxfng enthusiasts tnat ever wit nessed a titular bout in any weight class. Wherever located the arena, which will seat at least 50,000 spec tators, will be within a short distance of New York and accessible by all means of transportation. Dempsey, as heavyweight cham pion of th world, and Carpentier. in the role of hallener and European title holder, will compete for 60 per cent of the gross gate receipts, which will be divided cr a basis of 60 per cent to Dempsey and 40 per cent to Carpentier. Under the New Jersey state boxing law the bout cannot exceed 12 three minute rounds, and should both box era be on their feet at the termination of the match no official decision can be rendered. A referee, yet to be selected, will be in the ring with the principals, but his sole duty will be to see that the rules governing such contests are strictly observed. He will have no authority to indicate the winner, except in case of a foul or a knockout. The arena, which will cost approximately $100.00, will be constructed of lumber and will be octagonal. The eight sides will rise to a height of about R0 feet. The' angle of elevation will he sufficient to bring the Republican A. P. Leased Wire WASHINGTON, April 9.

April 9 President Harding has before him two proposals for settlement of the dispute between the railroads and their employes. One proposition, that from S. Davies Warfield and Darwin P.

Jewell for the five railroad mechanical unions, is that he bring about a general conference. Mr. Warfield and Mr. Kingsley believe that one outcome of the conferences they have suggested would be the formation of a regional railway board in each of the four territorial groups Such boards, it is explained, would be composed of representatives of the railroads and the men. To them would be referred disputes which could not be adjusted by direct negotiation. Should these boards fail to adjust the differences, disputed points would go to the railroad labor board. Railroad security owners are represented as feeling that there should be some settlement speedily rcuched, that the situation is too critical generally to have methods of procedure interrupt settlements.

W. Hays, secretary-treasurer, of Indianapolis, who arrived here tonight. "The recently developed opposition of the United Typothetae will make no difference In our original plans," said Mr. McParland. "Two years ago when the closed shop branch of the United Typothetae in conjunctive ac tion with the Printers' league, the employing association of stereotypers and electratypers and the various international unions interested decided that the 44-hour week was a., fair proposition, the parent body of the United Typothetae registered no objection to the action of the subordi nate organizations and though we were strong enough at the time to put the new schedule into immediate effect, .we were importuned to wait for two years. In the meantime the steel trust and many large manufacturing monopolies under threat of boycott last October prevailed upon the United Typothetae to oppose the 44-nour week. We as an international union do not care what the United Typothetae think of the matter at this late date and the measure will go through May 1 as we planned or our men over the entire country will walk out. "We have already laid plans to begin a levy of 10 per cent assessment on all our members to assist the strikers in the event of a walkout. We expect our greatest trouble to be in the South and SoutheasL "We have more than 200 local unions over the country signed up with their employers agreeing to the 44-hour week. New York and Chicago are signed up. The international union does not suggest that local unions demand a 48-hour wage scale for 44 -hours work."

The coal mine strike, which threatened to carry with it a strike of the railway men and transport workers, seems to be in a fair way of settlement through negotiation. . After all day conferences and interviews, when it was supposed that all efforts to move the miners had proved ineffectual, it was suddenly announced that the miners had yielded and that a conference with the coal owners had been. convened for Monday. Notices were sent out to the mining; districts urging abstention from action that would interfere with measures for the safety of the mines. The only explanation available as to what inducements were offered the miners to remove their objection to assenting- to steps assuring safety of the mine owners' property is the statement of Frank Hodges, secretary of the miners' union "the conference was arranged unconditionally." ' - "Whether the rumors that the government is willing that the wage question should be adjusted on a national basis may be held to explain the change in the situation is. unknown. If. as Mr. Hodges-suggested, the government and mine owners have agreed to an unconditional conference, that would be sufficient to induce the miners to yield the pumping point. In any case, the unexpected agreement gives the liveliest hope that a countrywide struggle will be averted. Arthur Henderson, labor leader, al though not personally concerned in today's meeting with Premier Lloyd George, was tonight full of confidence that there will be no general strike Tuesday. The executive committee of the Triple Alliance, after a conference with the premier, issued this statement tonight - - "It has been agreed that: The 'government shall summon a-conference of representatives of the miners federation and the coal owners Monday, and the miners federation shall tonight issue notices to' the federation's branches urging miners toab-stain-.from action interfering with measures necessary for ensuring the safety of the mines or necessitating the use of force by the government." J. H. Thomas, secretary of the Na- Wtional Union of Railwaymen. said the statement was the result ot negotia tions between the railwavmen. transport workers and the government and had been accepted by the miners. The triple alliance will remain In session during the negotiations in order if necessary to give effect to their previous decision. The Press association says: ."There is definite hope that the ne gotiations will proceed smoothly and that not ontv will active intervention bv the railwaymen and transport workers be avoided but that the min Ara'- stonnage will be ended. The arly return of the pumpmen ispos-"ible" ' ' Today the representatives of the triple 'alliance continued, efforts to brinar about negotiations between the miners and the government. Aft r the third Interview between rail waymen and transport workers with the nremier. J. H. xnomas ann Mar ry Oosling( leader of the transport workers, reported mat tne deputation would discuss matters again -with the miners, but would not see the premier again until tomorrow. After the conference the premier had an audience with the king. During the day it was reported that, tirovided the pumping difficul ty could be surmounted, the government was not averse to negotiating the wage question on a national basis, as claimed by the miner. It is not certain, however, that the gov-. ernment will go that far. The cabinet today sanctioned measures to ensure the safety of ' the mines and batches of naval ratings were sent to Wales and Scotland to protect volunteers and pumpers, together with additional troops to aid civil authorities. ria Desires To Resume U.

An anti grain gambling bill will pe miro duced In the new congress by Senator Capper and Representative Tincher, both of Kansas. The measure. Sen ator Capper announced today, will be similar to the bill which failed in the last congress but will have a few amendments designed to meet objec tions to the former bill and which he said, would not penalize legitimate speculation or "hedging." The new bill also will apply to cotton. "As revised," said Senator Capper, 'the bill, I believe, mets the approval of the legitimate grains and milling interests. It has the approval of all the great farm organizations. It will not win the approval of the grain gamblers, for its chief purpose is elimination of the gamblers." The revised bill, according to the senator, would place grain exchanges under the bureau of markets, with authority to confine speculation in jrrain or cotton to regular boards of ifrade. This, he said, "will end the activities of the private wire houses where 95 per cent of the real gambling is done."

April 9 With the j long awaited official announcement today that the Dempsey-Carpentier j heavyweight championship bout would be fought in New Jersey the afternoon of July 2, interest turned to the probable place of the contest and the training plans. Effort to ob tain a definite statement from Pro moter Tex Rickard as to the site were unavailing. . He refused to commit himself as to Newark, Atlantic City or Jersey City, the sites mentioned in hisannouncement. He said he had received favorable offers from all three cities and would inspect . the locations before be could make a decision. It is expected he will devote next week to this and announce his selection within 10 days While there has been nothing of ficial, it appears to be the genera! opinion among ring followers that Jersey City will be the choice. This is based on Rickard s assertions that he desired to stage the bout as near to New York City as possible. It was the dsire to locate the bout near a large city wuicn caused tne turning down of several offers from Canada, Maryland and western states. Under the New Jersey laws no decision can be g'en. Consequently, the only way in which Carpentier could win would be to knock out Dempsey inside the 12 rounds permitted or for the champion to lose by a foul. No matter how much Carpentier might batter Demp sey, if the latter were on his feet at the end he would still be champion from a technical standpoint. As the New Jersv legislature has adjourned no changes in the regula tions are likely. Rickard said he did not think the inability to render an official decision would have any ef feet on the attendance. He predicted that the attendance would be the largest that ever witnessed such a battle. Applications for seats have been accumulating without regard to the site, which Rickard attributes to the interest aroused in the first really in ternational heavyweight bout in several decades. Another unusual angle lies in the fact that the boxers are matched on a percentage basis, instead of the flat sums which it has been Rlckard's cus tom to pay. With Dempsev and Car pentier drawing 60 per cent of the gate receipts it is considered likely their share will be larger than the $127,500 paid Willard and Dempeey or the $101,000 awarded Johnson and Jeffries. The contract as originally drawn agreed to $300,000 -to Dempsey and Carpentier and it is reasonable to svippose they would not have assented to a change to a percentage basis, even though impressed with the general protest against the size of the purse, unless they felt their share would exceed any former guarantee. Rickard will inspect sites in Atlan tic City. Newark and Jersey City during the next few days and decide on the one which offers the greatest advantages for handling what is ex pected to be the largest assembly of boxfng enthusiasts tnat ever wit nessed a titular bout in any weight class. Wherever located the arena, which will seat at least 50,000 spec tators, will be within a short distance of New York and accessible by all means of transportation. Dempsey, as heavyweight cham pion of th world, and Carpentier. in the role of hallener and European title holder, will compete for 60 per cent of the gross gate receipts, which will be divided cr a basis of 60 per cent to Dempsey and 40 per cent to Carpentier. Under the New Jersey state boxing law the bout cannot exceed 12 three minute rounds, and should both box era be on their feet at the termination of the match no official decision can be rendered. A referee, yet to be selected, will be in the ring with the principals, but his sole duty will be to see that the rules governing such contests are strictly observed. He will have no authority to indicate the winner, except in case of a foul or a knockout. The arena, which will cost approximately $100.00, will be constructed of lumber and will be octagonal. The eight sides will rise to a height of about R0 feet. The' angle of elevation will he sufficient to bring the Republican A. P. Leased Wire WASHINGTON, April 9.

Jewell for the five railroad mechanical unions, is that he bring about a general conference. Mr. Warfield and Mr. Kingsley believe that one outcome of the conferences they have suggested would be the formation of a regional railway board in each of the four territorial groups Such boards, it is explained, would be composed of representatives of the railroads and the men. To them would be referred disputes which could not be adjusted by direct negotiation. Should these boards fail to adjust the differences, disputed points would go to the railroad labor board. Railroad security owners are represented as feeling that there should be some settlement speedily rcuched, that the situation is too critical generally to have methods of procedure interrupt settlements.

W. Hays, secretary-treasurer, of Indianapolis, who arrived here tonight. "The recently developed opposition of the United Typothetae will make no difference In our original plans," said Mr. McParland. "Two years ago when the closed shop branch of the United Typothetae in conjunctive ac tion with the Printers' league, the employing association of stereotypers and electratypers and the various international unions interested decided that the 44-hour week was a., fair proposition, the parent body of the United Typothetae registered no objection to the action of the subordi nate organizations and though we were strong enough at the time to put the new schedule into immediate effect, .we were importuned to wait for two years. In the meantime the steel trust and many large manufacturing monopolies under threat of boycott last October prevailed upon the United Typothetae to oppose the 44-nour week. We as an international union do not care what the United Typothetae think of the matter at this late date and the measure will go through May 1 as we planned or our men over the entire country will walk out. "We have already laid plans to begin a levy of 10 per cent assessment on all our members to assist the strikers in the event of a walkout. We expect our greatest trouble to be in the South and SoutheasL "We have more than 200 local unions over the country signed up with their employers agreeing to the 44-hour week. New York and Chicago are signed up. The international union does not suggest that local unions demand a 48-hour wage scale for 44 -hours work."
